Course
Description
WiMAX Professional Certification proves that you have
the skills to design, install, or operate WiMAX networks.
Move your career ahead by distinguishing yourself
in the wireless industry with a WiMAX professional
certification
This
course is a four-day program, which is designed
for engineers who will be implementing the core elements
of a WiMAX network.The
session will include a demo project with WiMAX
data and high-resolution
GIS database.The database will allow the participants
to experience planning, to do simple checks and
to see the effect of factors (like the OFDM channel,
diversity mechanism, clutter environment, propagation
model etc.) on the resulted plan.
You
will be using a product containing a comprehensive
multi-technology
and user-friendly radio planning and optimization
tool that supports wireless operators during all
stages of a network's lifetime - initial design,
system deployment and operation. The product integrates
sophisticated propagation models and cutting-edge
optimization techniques to provide operators with
planning recommendations for efficient network
deployment, operation, and maintenance.There wil
be also basic configuration of WiMAX Equipment
The
course is knowledge-based, with hands-on equipment
and laptop-based interactive labs and network
planning exercises.
Duration: 4 days
Pre-requisite
Familiarity with telecommucations market
